HOW THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING???
WHY WON'T ANYONE STOP BUSH???

1. Many of us have turned to drink.

[OKDem08]

2. me, too

would it do any good to drive to new orleans to pick up some people? would we even be allowed to do so? Where government fails, ordinary citizens can step forward. the nat'l guard are obviously inadequately equipped. don't people see this?

[iconoclastic cat]

3. Shit, I know so many who want to.

But from what I'm hearing, the place is ringed w/ feds and NG troops. I swear, it's genocide. If I didn't have a baby on the way in 4 weeks, though, I'd ring the bell and hit the highway right fucking now.

15. Side note:

How absolutely wonderful! Congrats! Watch out for the baby stories from NO;they'll kill ya. Just wanted to say that. Hope you have a safe and quick delivery!

[iconoclastic cat]

16. Oh, I've read the worst of them alread. That's why I'm now a drunk insomni

ac.

5. They won't even allow the Red Cross to get in.

They don't want any witnesses. :cry: :grr: :cry: :grr: :cry: :grr: :cry: :grr:

4. Those are my thoughts exactly every time I turn

on the tv. Frickin' exactly.

Supplies should've been raining from the sky. 'Copters should've been swarming in by the hundreds to rescue the people. There should've been 'copters every minute of every day until every single person was rescued.

This is like watching the Hindenburg in slow motion over a week time.

[BattyDem]

6. This is torture to watch .... imagine living it?

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

By the way, welcome to DU! I wish we could have met under better circumstances. :hi:

[OKDem08]

7. somebody tell me..what is it?

is it the CDC fearing some health crisis? I just don't get it. It just seems absolutely beyond incompetence at this point and completely intentional!

[walldude]

11. Lots of threads about this

Something isn't right. You have the Red Cross being told to stay away because they are afraid people won't leave NO. Then you have Fox News reporting that people aren't being allowed to leave the city. The government has them trapped. Something is seriously wrong here.

on edit- I was off today and was encoding some films so I've been on DU all day, I can't break away.

[OKDem08]

13. my BS meter

is going off

[cry baby]

8. welcome to DU, HuskerDU

A welcome to you during such a sad time in our history.

[DBoon]

10. Welcome to DU as well

from the west coast

[HuskerDU]

12. Thanks for all of the kind welcomes.

BTW DBoon is pretty much my favorite human being ever, besides family. He was a great, great man.

[darkism]

17. Your name is very clever. :)

Welcome to DU. :headbang:

[sambird90]

9. I've been at work

for the the last ten hours and your are right its gotten worse. Ive just got done downloading the faux clip with Ger aldo and Smith very powerful.I'm pretty sure these two are going to be "*" cheerleaders anymore?;( :smoke:

[LSK]

14. there were some scathing speeches on the House floor today

Wexler and Kucinich deserve much credit. All topics were touched upon. When the Congress is back in session, we will see what happens then. I have a feeling a lot of them will not want to be part of the blame.
